Dutch Football Club

Inspires a passion for the game by developing players to compete at the highest level.

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog"... that rings so true for the tiny geographic country of The Netherlands, aka Holland. However, when it comes to the world game of football, the Dutch are titans.

The Dutch changed the trajectory of World Football when they introduced the revolutionary "Total Football" style of play in the '70s which fostered a culture, methodology, and philosophy that future generations still benefit from today. Fitting into Texas 16 times over and equaling the same number of participants in the game just in Texas alone, The Netherlands youth club system (Ajax, Feyenoord & PSV and many more), continue to produce a healthy consistent crop of intelligent and skillful players that dominate the top leagues throughout Europe.

The exceptional talent produced in Holland is displayed on its national team famously wearing the Orange Colors. By adopting and implementing the successful footballing methodology and philosophy of the Dutch, The Dutch Football Club is proud to bring this unique footballing culture to soccer enthusiasts in the North Dallas area.

For those wanting to take their game to the next level, the Dutch Lions offer a soccer experience that inspires a lifelong PASSION for the game, teaches and DEVELOPs an attacking-possessive style of play that enables players to reach their full footballing potential and go on to COMPETE at the highest levels.

Rize of the Dutch Lionesses in Women’s World Football

By Wilco Ravestijn • March 1, 2020
The Dutch Pride of Lionesses is on the prowl to dominate Women’s World Football. Over the last decade, the tiny country of the Netherlands has become a formidable contender on the national stage ranking third in FIFA Women’s World rankings behind the USA and Germany, but ahead of France, England, Brazil, and Japan.

The Origins of Dutch Football Philosophy and Methodology

By Wilco Ravestijn • October 17, 2019
The Dutch have earned a deserved reputation for their technical creativity, tactical awareness, attacking possessive style, and ability to know where and how on a football field to find their team mates. These qualities have not come about through accident, however. They are the result of a guiding philosophy and methodology that are instilled in players starting at the grass roots youth level. Dutch football is known for its patient build-up from the back, and early deep pass to set-up the attack, and the use of the “third” – or free- man to exploit goal scoring opportunities. Dutch players have[...] The post The Origins of Dutch Football Philosophy and Methodology appeared first on Dutch Football Club.
